Distant Light |
The man appeared to me inside that yellow wood. |
I’d carved his name in the dirt, at the crossroads where we stood. |
He said, «Are you looking for directions?» |
I said, «Gee, I wish you would. |
Which way to the infinite road that unwinds |
from within.» |
He said, «Follow the distant light» |
Oh' you know I will! |
Follow the distant light, just a little bit over the hill |
Follow the distant light and although you’ll never near it. |
You can travel on forever and you’ll never be back here. |
I said, «alright» |
The stranger appeared to me, he hopped down from his tree. |
I said, «I can give you anything, but you know that nothing’s free.» |
Well I could take it or leave it. |
I said, «well what do you want from me.» |
He said, «nothing much really, just a small token of appreciation |
that would mean so little to man like you and so much to a man like me.» |
Gimme the distant light. |
Oh no I cannot do it |
Gimme the distant light, he said through his teeth |
Gimme the distant light |
I said, «I ain’t quite yet through with it» |
As I saw it shining dimly through the branches of his tree, I walked on |
Following the distant light. |
Like the way some people look for parking |
Following the distant light, and tripping all over my feet |
But following the distant light |
And I know if I keep walking, I’ll never touch it, |
but as long as I move it’ll shine down on me. |
